Pingles
Today I was fortunate enough to be able to volunteer on Easton's first class trip to Pingles Farm. The bus was packed with three kindergarten classes so the parents drove and met the kids there. The day started out with an outdoor classroom setting where there were some questions about things that grow on farms, which led to how pumpkins grow, a song, and a book. This was followed by a wagon ride to the pumpkin patch where every kid got to pick their own pumpkin. The only catch was they had to pick one that they could carry.
We explored the pumpkin leaves, pumpkin flowers, green pumpkins and anything else the kids found interesting... like ladybugs. There were LOTS of ladybugs!
From here we went to the fun land. There were mazes to explore, jumping castles, slides, animals to feed, water pumps to pump and pedal tractors to ride. The kids had a lot of fun and a fair amount of freedom.
Easton was glad I was there but really he was in his own element running around enjoying the fun things around him that seemed perfect for his age.
He introduced me to a few of his classmates which was so nice to finally meet some of them.
It was a beautiful day for a fun farm class trip. So thankful that I could be there.
